A curve is such that \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{x}} - 1\) and \(P(9, 5)\) is a point on the curve.

(ii) Find the coordinates of the stationary point on the curve. [3]

(iii) Find an expression for \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) and determine the nature of the stationary point. [2]

(iv) The normal to the curve at \(P\) makes an angle of \(\arctan k\) with the positive \(x\)-axis. Find the value of \(k\). [2]
